Andy,<br><br>Not sure if lymes disease is an issue in your area, it is a huge issue here in SW Wisconsin. Many people here still opt for the vaccine even though the commercial manufacturer quit general production in February. Apparently there is still a medical protocol for its use , but not sure what the source of the vaccine would be unless it is limited to existing stock. CDC has a lot of information here http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/vaccine.htm <br><br>In the meantime, you and your wife should continue the FREQUENT inspection LONG after you quit finding ticks <br><br>Take care<br><br>Robb
